I have transplanted the gladiolas from the front garden to the back garden
as they looked like Triffids and were always getting blown, despite being
supported by canes.
I have planted some spring flowering bulbs in the front garden, but I can't
see any summer flowering bulbs in the shops.
Is this because the summer bulbs are not in the shops yet, or am I missing
something?

Not available up north due to there being no summer to speak of

Yes. Summer flowering bulbs are usually available in late winter or
spring, March/April for planting April/May.

Thanks for that Chris.

I think they are seasonal certainly. What bulbs are you after?

I don't really know Brian. Just something that looks good and lasts for a
while. My gardening skills are not very good.
However, many people have admired my garden and Abdul from the shop up the
road said "It is de best in de street"
I'd love some plants that are irresistible and highly toxic to cats.

The garden centres are practically giving bulbs away to make room for
Xmas tripe.

Ah - plants that produce substances that need to be broken down by
UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase should do.

Chris says the summer bulbs are not in the shops yet.
Expert gardeners such as myself do not use rip off garden centers, we pick
up the bulbs when dragged out shopping.
And we mark the empty packets with the date the bulbs are planted and where
they are planted. Then, we lose the packets.
